Question on the m1913 “Patton” Saber

I had bid on a group of 3 Patton sabers. One of them had the basket trimmed to the width of the backstrap/grip. I have another basket to swap it out, but the backstrap was cut. How do I remove the basket from the backstrap?

It's hard to visualize your predicament, but...

 

There's a screw on the back of the pommel.  It holds the entire saber together, minus the grip panels which have their own screws.

 

Unscrew the two grip panel screws, remove the grip panels.  Remove the screw at the end of the pommel, remove the end of the guard from its socket at the back of the pommel, and everything should slide out to the rear.  You may need to encourage it a little with a wood or rubber mallet.
